I'm currently running a Windows 7 trial on my desktop pc. I would like to buy the full version when it is released as i'm still using Xp as my primary operating system. I have encountered one highly irritating issue however, the loss of internet connection after shutdown or resume from sleep mode. It will say local connection only no internet. The only fix that seems to work is restarting the pc, router and modem about 50 million times. I even bypassed the router and had the same issues, it just seem to randomly start working again. Even worse when it does this it kills the wireless connection on my laptop as well. I am at a loss, i truely think it is a windows problem and now i'm not sure i want to buy Windows 7 as this problem is ticking me off. Xp never had this issue. Has anyone else had internet connection problems with Windows 7?

Things i've tried:
reboot hardware, remove router, played with network card settings, checked tcp/ip, release and renew ip (says media disconnected), installed new driver for nic card, done windows updates, disabled and re-enabled nic.

Try updating your network card drivers and setting up a static IP

Sounds like a driver issue. With Windows 7 being relatively new, updating the driver might not necessarily fix the issue. What kind of NIC is it?

I have tried to update the driver using the windows 7 update, the microsoft signed driver made no difference. It's a realtek pcie gbe family adaptor. I also tried a static ip address on the weekend, no such luck same issue.

Thanks for the replies but i did solve the problem, i just re-installed xp for now and when windows 7 comes out hopefully microsoft will have fixed it. It could be something with the release candidate software.

Just cause I'm curious, what version of Windows 7 were you running? I'm running RC1 Build 7100 atm.

I believe it was the same version you are using.

Prob just have to wait for it to be fixed. There's still a few issues with Win7, and drivers for it as well. I randomly lose sound and have to disable /enable my sound card to get it back, and USB devices sometimes stop working after sleep til i restart. Still the rest is awesome, i'm sure it'll all be fixed eventually.
